the walbro 255lph intank pump...
does honda not want us to change the fuel pump or what?.. but yeah here's my install..it was a pain but not even close to being as painful as the clutch install.. The pump is slightly louder.. not too noticeable..


i unclamped all the hoses connected to the tank, disconnected the wire from the trunk, unbolted the straps, and one thing i didn't do but should have done.. drain the damn fuel. pretty straight forward though




close up of the tank


comparing the new fuel pump from the stock one


new one installed


inside the tank


installed and somewhat cleaned.



after that.. raised the tank with jack stands, bolted up the straps that holds up the tank, and reconnected all the fuel lines... there's actually one hard line you have to torque down at honda specs.. i believe it's 37 lbs with teflon paste on the threads... enjoy

is the walbro the same size as your stock one? my pump was like an inch or and inch and half bigger

walbro that i have it's about little long and fatter also, i have to cut the line to get it fit right.

6th gen dont need to "drop the tank" btw

Good write-up!

Yah, it's a little longer, but I think it just the way it's leaning in the pic.

accordfreak

yah the pump is a bit longer.. i didn't measure how much longer though

my fuel pump came with new a new line and clamps so it fits perfectly.

for honda and acura the fuel pump is usually under the seat...if you remove the seat you can see the fuel pump...much easier than get'n under the car and drop'n the fuel tank...

for my 94 accord, they're different than the civics and integs.. honda decided to give the 5th gen owners a headache. when i looked under the car without the tank, i couldn't find any potential hatches to access the fuel pump

not sure about the other generations though...

mrnicolas

can you remove the fuel pump in a 4th gen without dropping the tank?

No, you won't find easy access in the trunk. You'll find it sitting on the shelf of your local hardware store:

hahhah hey accrd94dx........u choose the hard way to do it. instead of easy way.......

like the guy before said,,,,,,u dun need to drop down ur fuel tank to change fuel pump...........u can access fuel pump under the rear seat.........i guess it is too late now............u could of ask honda tech how to do it............well, dis is for future references for others in here

the opening in the back seat is for the sender, not the pump.

nope, you have to do the same thing. And its the same amount of pain as shown here.

is it the same for the 4 door 5th gens? (the access panel is in the trunk instead of under the seat i believe)

I believe Cali Luv just did this for his H22 build, you may want to contact him to see if he has pics of the process, With a thread this old I wouldn't count on them having the pics saved.

accord_raffi

good call. i just didn't want to start a new topic on something that was basically answered already. i'll get in touch with him
